How much Monero do you get for 1 SOL? Swaps into XMR, measured

1 SOL swapped into 0.148095 XMR and 0.01 BTC into 1.262722 XMR on our live quotes on 8 November 2026: a 0.38% rate margin plus a flat 0.0003 XMR withdrawal fee, on every route we measured. What swaps into Monero from SOL, USDT, LTC and BTC delivered, from small to large.

On our live quotes at 07:39 UTC on 8 November 2026, 1 SOL swapped into 0.148095 XMR with Cambio, 1.5 LTC into 0.130047 XMR, 0.01 BTC into 1.262722 XMR and 70 USDT on BNB Smart Chain into 0.116311 XMR, with our fees already taken out.

In the 30 days to 8 November our customers completed 24 swaps that involved Monero, and 15 of them were into XMR. The 5 from Solana were between 0.059 and 0.1 SOL, and the 3 from USDT on BNB Smart Chain between 7.909 and 70 USDT. So we asked for quotes at those sizes and at larger ones, from SOL, USDT on BNB Smart Chain, Litecoin and Bitcoin, all within the same minute. Our own test swaps are not in those counts.

What each quote delivered

  • From Solana: 0.1 SOL became 0.014539 XMR (2.40% below the market price), 0.5 SOL 0.073897 (0.78%), 1 SOL 0.148095 (0.58%) and 5 SOL 0.741679 (0.42%).
  • From USDT on BNB Smart Chain: 10 USDT became 0.016358 XMR (2.18% below) and 70 USDT 0.116311 (0.64%).
  • From Litecoin: 0.11 LTC became 0.009258 XMR (3.52% below) and 1.5 LTC 0.130047 (0.61%).
  • From Bitcoin: 0.001 BTC became 0.126002 XMR (0.62% below) and 0.01 BTC 1.262722 (0.40%).

The quotes at 0.1 SOL and 0.11 LTC did not state a percentage, so we worked theirs out from the market price in the same route's larger quote, read seconds later. That price reproduces both quoted figures exactly.

What the fee is made of

Every quote here stated its cost the same way: a rate margin of 0.38% of the amount, plus a flat withdrawal fee of 0.0003 XMR for sending the Monero to your wallet, taken from the XMR you receive. At the Monero price implied by the same quotes, $597.98, that fee is worth about $0.18. The route you come from did not change either part: Solana, BNB Smart Chain, Litecoin and Bitcoin all carried the same 0.38% and the same 0.0003 XMR.

A flat fee weighs more on a small swap. On 10 USDT the 0.0003 XMR fee alone is 1.79% of the swap, which is most of the 2.18% it cost. On 0.1 SOL it is 2.01% of the 2.40%. At the larger sizes the cost came close to the 0.38% margin: 5 SOL, about $445 of XMR, cost 0.42%, and 0.01 BTC, about $758, cost 0.40%.

Sending your coins in

The quote covers our side. Sending your coins to the deposit address is a transaction on their own network, paid from your wallet: SOL pays the fee on Solana, LTC on Litecoin and BTC on Bitcoin. USDT on BNB Smart Chain needs a little BNB in the same wallet to pay its gas, even when you are only sending USDT.

Deposits from Bitcoin wait for more confirmations than deposits from Solana or BNB Smart Chain, so a swap from BTC takes longer to start. The Monero then arrives as a normal transaction to your address, and some wallets show it only after they have synced.

What changes these numbers

  • The amount. The withdrawal fee is flat, so the percentage falls as the amount grows. Ask for a quote at the amount you mean to send.
  • The moment. These quotes were read at 07:39 UTC on 8 November. A quote for your own amount is worked out when you ask for it.
  • The coin you send. We measured 4 routes in; a quote for another coin or network may be priced differently, and it says so before you send anything.

Whatever the size, the quote shows the XMR that arrives, with our fees already taken out, before you send anything.
